We are conducting a short survey about the SCM systems that you use professionally and personally and why. It's only a few questions and we will share the results of the survey in this discussion group when it has been completed and analyzed so everyone can walk away with some useful information.

Just follow this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TSVCRBR

What is in it for the people taking the time? From your message, I have the impression that there is no benefit for me whatsoever to fill out the survey, but possibly half an hour (or more) of net time lost on hacking.

It is not enough for me to know that you conduct "some survey".

Ciao, Dscho

It was 6 questions. Maybe 20 tick boxes in total. I completed it in about the same time it took you to moan about it.

They share results after the survey is completed. It's enough.

Increase the number of people saying that Git is cool, one more step towards world domination ;-).

OTOH, the survey results will probably be very biaised (depending on who received the call), so I doubt the result will actually give a hint on which VCS is most popular.

I did it, it's actually a few minutes, not half an hour.
